The Green Bay Packers overcame a 20-0 deficit in the third quarter, and all the praise Matt Nagy earned in the first half vanished with their lead.

Green Bay Packers fans didn't need the Steve Miller Band to hope the Packers "Fly Like an Eagle" this season or say "Abracadabra" and reach out and grab a pass or five off of Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. He led the Packers to the 9-yard line, but on third-and-goal, Khalil Mack sacked him and ripped the football away from him for a forced fumble and recovery.

Was it Mack's lack of a preseason that stole a quarter step from him late in the game?

The Bears led 20-0 at one point and their defence dominated until the second half.

Fuller has intermixed brilliant play (first quarter of his rookie season and virtually all of last year) with a disastrous sophomore season and injury-marred lost 2016.

Mack made a mincemeat out of Green Bay's offense in the first half.

Syria summit in Iran may decide Idlib military offensive
According to the UN, Idlib is home to about 2.9 million civilians, including 1.4 million displaced from other parts of Syria. Jeffrey said a United States response to a Russian assault would involve "all of our tools", but did not elaborate further.

"I don't really think much changed, I feel like we let them make too many big plays down the stretch", Mack said. On Sunday night, Trubisky was able to show off his arm with a couple 30-yard bullets to receivers Taylor Gabriel and Allen Robinson. Right tackle Brian Bulaga, Mack's regular matchup, said there were several plays of the first half that he wants back.

After the game, NBC's Michele Tafoya asked Rodgers how confident he was that he'd be ready to go against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2.

The Packers would get one more stop to seal the game.

"No, I'm planning on playing", Rodgers said. He went 23-for-35 for 171 yards.

In the end, though, none of Mack's exploits mattered, as the Packers, behind Rodgers' heroics, pulled off a 24-23 come-from-behind victory after being held scoreless by Chicago in the first half. He broke Prince Amukamara's ankles and scored from 12 yards out after making a short catch, faking inside and breaking it back outside, but only after he completed a spinning catch for 51 yards three plays earlier.
